Interesting article. Thanks for posting it.
In terms of the number of hours I play, I am far from a casual gamer, but I have never been in a huge raid. A better distinction would be solo-5 man play vs. 40 man raids. Blizzard is basically saying that the only way content can be challenging and provide Uber loot is if it takes 40 people to do it. Moreover if "the casual gamer" wants more out of WoW he will have to buy the expansion.
Do they ever consider quests that Require a maximum of 1 or 2 and are challenging and interesting?
